Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • Drafting — Each round, players are all going to pick a card for each of their divers.
  • Push Your Luck — You can kind of push your luck or you can stay from.
  • Roll and Write — It's technically, I suppose, a roll and write or a or flip and write type game sort of because you have a big sheet that you're writing and scoring things on.
  • Set Collection — you'll have the points you got during rounds three, six, and eight. Your eggs are worth a point, the number of different trash, and then the pearls

Quotes (from this video)
  • Jeju Island is known as the Hawaii of uh Korea.
  • This is a game in which you can kind of push your luck or you can stay from.
  • Now, the farther down, the better stuff you're going to get. But the fact of the matter is there needs to be an uninterrupted line back up to zero or you get nothing.
  • So, it's kind of cooperation, but not quite.
  • I've had miraculous games of this where I got so many cool things and scored very high. And I've had games where I was like, 'Ow! I I no smart.'
  • So, I think there's a lot of solid interesting ideas here into a game. Just be wary, like I said, that if you really do push your luck, as in many push your luck style games, you may not do particularly well. But you might.

  • Hey everybody, I'm Tom Vassal. Welcome to the most boring unboxings in the world as we open up stuff that comes into the Dice Tower and we see what it is.
  • So, that is the one of these is the deluxe version for the hot games room in the Dice Tower library and the other one is for the library.
  • All righty, folks. Well, there you go. There's even more stuff, but I had to put some in the library. I got some stuff from the Philippines. We'll show that stuff off in the future. But for now, that's the end of another boring unboxing. This time, really done by me and not Zee.
